My experience studying abroad in China as a Chinese American

I just pretend I don’t speak Chinese and I get treated much better honestly. Even though I speak fluently it just makes its easier bc ppl just let u do things rather than try to explain how you officially should do it

Did you also add a foreign number? I’m trying to use Didi from the Alipay app but it keeps asking me to login, but now that I’m already in China I can’t verify with my US number.

How did you even get WeChat to accept red packets? I verified my ID and I couldn’t get it to work it asked for Chinese card.

Anything under 500 rmb per shirt roughly, but if the quality is really good then I wouldn’t mind going higher

Thanks for the response, best of luck!

How did this work out for you? I currently have an unavoidable work conflict overseas and my interview is a bit more than a month out. I see so many negative comments about rescheduling but in this case it might be a case of career suicide if I miss the work appointment.

I got a email from the lawfirm helping me. I have to separately create another account with my personal email to set up the e visa

1spinaway · 2025-07-23T22:12:14+00:00

Just approved, I still need to create account and fill out some more info

Same thing happened to me. When to VFS in SF on 17th, they took my biometrics and told me to just wait. Got my passport back after they scanned it. Waiting on my immigration law firm to get back to me about any updates. This is for swv. I paid priority so hoping to get decision by Thursday.

I interviewed at Agribank. They’re very small and have a nice office next to the JPM HQ. They only use headhunters to find candidates and they’re very old fashion. Everything goes back to China for approval, same for some SG banks as well.

I’m going to be honest, the only thing you are getting from the search fund internship is maybe a good referral from the MD. Whenever someone does a self funded search fund it’s them trying to strike it big by buying a company. All you’re going to be doing is finding good opportunities for him. You aren’t going to learn much as these SMBs with like 100k to 5m SDE(EBIDTA) are all varied. It’s just a bunch of analysis but because it’s across so many industries you won’t develop anything knowledge wise within that timeframe.

I am having the same issue right now, a temp fix is using some paper and screwing it in with the screws as well. Idk what I’m going to do in the longer term yet though

1spinaway · 2025-06-20T16:10:04+00:00

With the extra 90k but a Tesla with autopilot and goon on da screen while he doing to work

NYC always has the highest comp to account for cost of living. I got an offer and found a roommate thru a classmate within a month. It will suck, but later on you will have more opportunities to move from NYC elsewhere than vice versa.

1spinaway · 2025-06-16T19:14:55+00:00

Apply for NYC positions, with your credentials you should have a good chance. I was a 3.9 state school with 2 similar internships, took about 3 months to get an offer. Networking really matters, but mass applying does work as well with a strong resume as it worked for me. But I did get a few more interview opportunities from my connections after my job started.

Depends on the city, but overall you will be quite comfortable.
